A man bought a dozen live blue crabs and brought them home.
He showed the crabs to his two children. Eleven crabs were dropped into a steamer and one was left in the kitchen sink to satisfy kids' curiosity.
The older son tested crab's clasp reflexes by waving wet paper in front of the creature. The younger one lightly poked it with a wooden spoon. Both boys had much fun, but the crab was agonizing against attacks of two human monsters and looked terrified. The man asked kids to be gentle.
Meanwhile, the eleven crabs were red-ready. Appetizing sea-salty scent from the steamer filled the kitchen.
Initially, the man was hungry for seafood, but by now he had lost his appetite. The red shells and claws in the steamer now looked to him like eleven murdered brothers and sisters of the multi-legged pet in the kitchen sink.
Moral:
Do not play with something you are about to kill. You may fall in love with it. Kill quickly. Do not waste lives.
